Walk the Yiddish East End

Walk along the routes of the ‘urban sketch’ column of the Yiddish press from the 1890s to the 1950s, as it captures comic, incisive and cheeky encounters with daily life. From parading a new Torah scroll down Whitechapel Road to the chazer market in Goulston Street, expect some surprising histories and performed readings. Vivi Lachs will take you on an entertaining journey through local tradition and significant social change, tracing ideas and events that impacted the community.
